So for those of us dummies who missed out on one of David's killer blocks, where should we look next? Particularly if we want kind of a nice one? Anyone have any ideas.

I'd build one myself if I wasn't about to be moving and had a heap of other **** to do?

Sadly, I ended up buying a 35? slot block marketed by Wusthof. It was cheap and it looks okay but I would have rather spent more for a BoardSMITH. I have one already and it never fails to impress almost as much as the blades it holds.

I had that discussion with my brother who has all the necessary woodworking gear and decided that I am going to build my own. I'm not going to get started on it until late spring and am just starting to plan out the layout. I want to make sure that I have enough and large enough slots that I am covered for future purchases.

I have that also as my second block. Not like a custom one but functional compared to most others out there. And at under $100 cheaper than a custom block also, more money for knives...
